why wouldnt you want to transition?
>>
>>7801799
I'm a NEET my parents would have to help me with it a lot. That is if they even accepted me. Most of my friends don't even like gay people so I would lose most of my friends if not all of them if I came out as trans. Live in a relatively small town everyone would know. I think about it a lot and I do hate myself often and wish I could but I realize a lot of bad shit could happen if I did. Not to mention I could end up looking like shit at least I look normal right now. I don't know how I could live with myself if I was unpassable given if I looked at all female I would be happier probably. I just think it's one of those fucked if I do fucked if I don't things.

But you could be super cute anon. Repressing it will only make it come back stronger.

You just have to run away from home and start a new life.

You can do it, social assistance might be necessary and it will be a struggle, you may lose weight, you may even lose your mind a little to be on your own but you will be free to transition and to make your new life happen.
>>
>>7801826
Why not just get a job programming or escorting. If you're really a trans girl neither of these things are hard.
>>
>>7802232
Oh I believe you about it coming back stronger. It has gotten worse and a few times I almost said fuck it and came out. Then last second I thought about all that could go wrong. Parents don't help me and they think I'm a freak. Parents kick me out which I don't think my mom would but I am still afraid of it. Somehow word gets out around town that I want to be a girl lose what few friends I have and can't even transition.

>>7802288
Somehow I don't think I could make it having only worked one entry level job in my life and having only a high school diploma. If I ran away I would be homeless no money no nothing and I assume I would still have dysphoria on top of having no friends or family or anything.

>>7802294
I haven't transitioned I am male at the moment. I have no clue how I would get into programming or how I would make money off of it though.
>>
>>7802339
>I would be homeless no money no nothing
Social assistance can help you get you started.

>I assume I would still have dysphoria
Stay as you are and you will still have it for sure.

>no friends or family
You don't even trust them to accept you as you are. What good are they? Make new friends in your new life.

I'm just really afraid actually absolutely horrified of coming out transitioning or anything. It scares the absolute shit out of me. I think about all the worst possible things that could happen if I did it. It could all be for nothing I could end up looking like shit. It's just really overwhelming to me. I'm really sorry I probably look like a crazy person typing.

Don't be sorry, it is normal to be afraid and maybe a little unhinged. You have a medical issue and it will not be easy to begin treating it, but you can do it. Like I said you may end up going through some major struggles, loneliness and hunger to name a couple, but act with courage and you will survive. Not only that you will become strong! (Actually the transition will make you weaker physically, but you will be strong of spirit!)
>>
>>7801826
you need to transition

otherwise its just going to get worse and worse and then you will be mad at yourself for not doing it early, just gauge your parents reactions before telling them first

if your friends dont like it then they arent your friends, you can make new ones thatll actually accept you

For me, HRT reduced dysphoria massively and made it so that I don't even mind presenting as birth gender forever. I'm probably some weird outlier, though.
>>
>>7801826
you aren't alone there,
>>7802232
This anon is right. it always comes back, and eventually makes you go to breaking point :(
I would know. it doesn't help to repress...
>>
>>7804852
i still repress.
>>
>>7801574
Weed helped me immensely. Although it was also the realization that i'm way too masc and old to make transition worthwhile. There are alot of benefits to T as well, and i'm somewhat poor and feel insecure about the future. So I feel more secure facing it as masc beast.

>>7801826
Don't try to make it sound conclusive, just tell your parents its something you've had on your mind and want to talk about with a therapist who specializes in this sort of thing. They'll be more likely to accept it if a professional is ok with it, and if they still freak out about it then you could always try to play it off as the therapist's idea.
Also, unless you live in one of those countries that requires RLE or something, you could always start HRT and continue living as a guy and see how it goes, and eventually you can decide to just keep going like that or start living as a girl too. The only downside of this is that HRT makes you sterile, so if you're attracted to women and want to keep the option open of having kids you'd need to visit a sperm bank before starting, which can be a bit expensive. Getting laser hair removal and/or electrolysis is a big part of passing, but its also rather pricey so you might have issues paying for things if your parents don't approve.

Wow, that's literally my situation.

I'm going through with it though.

Not OP, but as a repressing newcomer to /lgbt/, could somebody elaborate on this?

For me it was crying when I got erections, attempt to cut off my genitalia and just general mental health decline.

Repression doesn't work.

Oh, okay then...
I assume you've since transitioned and everything is more or less alright now?
>>
>>7805502
Just Cypro, and not yet since its on the way.
But just knowing that they're coming gives me hope.

In the meantime I have to rely on temporary solutions although some actually work surprisingly well.
For example, if you wear two pairs of underwear with the one underneath being a tightish pair of panties, erections are much rarer so I can just forget about the problem for a while.
>>
>>7805528
I'm still finding my way through my heart at this time, but thank you for sharing your experience.

I'm still not sure if what I'm experiencing is just a temporary feeling, a misinterpreted feeling, or really what I truly feel inside. I plan on seeing a psychiatrist before too long to try and help me learn more about myself. At least now I have some idea of what could happen if I just keep ignoring it and trying to sweep it under the rug.

Hang in there, I'm sure it will all work out
>>
>>7805549
Don't forget, the only person you have to justify this to is yourself.
If it turns out you feel as if your dysphoria is manageable and that you don't need to transition, that's fine.

Everyone else's opinion comes second, this is about you, don't forget.
Do what makes you happy, good luck

If I did decide to transition I would want to just come out to my parents I think or at least my mom. She might not take it well but I doubt she would flip out or anything. I'm not exactly well off money wise and I don't think my insurance covers a therapist so I don't even think I could go to one. If I came out to my parents and they were ok with it I'm not that far from an informed consent clinic(few hours maybe 2). I have no clue how that would work though like what I would say what I would schedule etc. I have insurance but it doesn't cover everything so I don't even know if it would cover that which would suck. I still am scared of this but I've been thinking about it a lot especially yesterday and today. I have been feeling a horrible sense of dread thinking about this and even typing this. I wish I could just stop being afraid honestly because like you all said I'm pretty sure this problem won't solve itself.

>>7805420
Good luck anon you're braver than I am.

>I would want to just come out to my parents I think or at least my mom

that feeling when you want to come out but your religious dad keeps telling you how proud he is to have such a bright hardworking son that didn't turn out like his mentally ill drug addict sisters

You picked the wrong place to look for advice all you're going to get here is people trying to convince you that transitioning is right no matter what your situation.
Personally I found it becomes easier when you express your femininity in simple yet subtle ways. Grow your hair, shave your legs and armpits, adjust your posture. Also I would highly recommend adding a little bit of estrogen into your system. Not enough to transition, and don't do the T-blockers, but just a little goes a long way. I started taking a purera mirifica every morning and it has really helped my mood and calms my dysphoria.
In the end it's really up to you and what personally makes you feel better.
